The story is inspired by Channing Tatum’s pre-Hollywood days as a male dancer--The biopic follows a newcomer to the world of exotic dancing (Alex Pettyfer) who is tempted by an older woman (Demi Moore) as well as bond with a mentor to the younger stripper--The titular Magic Mike (Tatum)

Munn would play Amber a potential love intterest for Tatum. She certainly makes a fine addition to the cast if she signs....Too bad it can't become her story as a stripper

The story follows Llewyn Davis a struggling folk musician during the genre's 1960s heyday in New York City. It's rumoured to be a fictionalized account of the late singer Dave Van Ronk. The script is an original one penned by the Coens.

Based on the book by David Mitchell--the tome consists of six nested stories that take the reader from the remote South Pacific in the nineteenth century to a distant, post-apocalyptic future. Each tale is revealed to be a story that is read (or watched) by the main character in the next. All stories but the last one get interrupted at some point, and after the sixth story concludes at the center of the book, the novel "goes back" in time, "closing" each story as the book progresses in terms of pages but regresses in terms of the historical period in which the action takes place.

"Everyone in the cast is playing at least three parts, some big and some small… Everybody’s swapping race and gender, so it’s very ambitious and quite fun."

Whishaw will play "Frobisher in the thirties; a female American in the seventies, in the Luisa Rey section; and a smallish role, where I’m basically an extra, in a modern-day nursing home, in the Timothy Cavendish section.”

Set in 1959 Bucharest, the story follows a group of Jewish former revolutionaries who're now united against the communists. After being sentenced to death for robbing a bank under the guise of staging a film shoot, they're first forced to reenact the caper for a propaganda film.

Lloyd stars as a cameraman recruited to shoot that film and falls in love with Vera Farmiga's character who has a child with one of the men sentenced to die (Mark Strong).

The film's story is taken from Seth Grahame-Smith's book using Jane Austen's classic Pride and Prejudice and puts bloodthirsty flesh-eating zombies into the action. The tome now tells the timeless story of a woman's quest for love and independence amid the outbreak of a deadly virus that turns the undead into vicious killers.

The first is a sci-fi feature called "The Side Effect" that deals with "pharmaceutical testing in space" and "isolation and paranoia, and that kind of psychological fear" seen in both 'Devil' and his current filmcalled The Innkeepers

He says that he wrote a "kind of werewolf film" for another company, but wouldn't say anymore than that...

The shots have him without the cape in between takes, probably due to the weight of it

There's some ornate black ribbing on the sides, lower back and down his thighs. There's padding all over to give a very defined muscular appearance (and yes even a well sculpted crotch), while the red of the S and the boots seem to stand out against the muted blue of the rest of the outfit.

Note the absence of the more traditional Yellow S on the back of the cape...ala Bryan Singer's Superman Returns making it easier to accomplish the CG-enhanced flying shots....

"Revenge of the Sith" marked the birth of Darth Vader as James Earl Jones reprised the role and only got in a line or two before yelling out a big ol' over the top "NOOOOOOO!!!"

Keep that in mind as you read on...

Copies have gone out for review and details of the changes have been leaked

A few weeks ago it was revealed that the puppet Yoda (Frank Oz) last seen in "Star Wars: Episode I - The Phantom Menace" was being replaced by a CG version to make the look more inline with that in the next two episodes. That turned out fine right?

A few weeks ago Nolan spent two days filming around the Henrhyd Waterfall in the Neath Valley, Brecon Beacons, Wales. The waterfall is being used as the entrance to the Batcave in the sequel and there are claims it will be a part of the opening sequence of the film.

But the insider also mistakes it for being the "discovery of the Batcave" which we saw in “Batman Begins". The waterfall entrance seen there was part of the Batcave set built at Shepperton Studios along with miniatures. The new Batcave is being built on Sound Stage 30 on Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer Studios lot in California.

Meanwhile shooting is continuing in Los Angeles...

Morgan Freeman was spotted on set as Lucius Fox--his scenes are to involve both Bane (Tom Hardy) and Catwoman (Anne Hathaway), while Fox is tries to prevent a Tumbler from being stolen....

Lionsgate has announced special sneak preview screenings of their September 9th sports drama "Warrior" says THR

The screenings will be held on Sunday, September 4th at 7pm in theaters across the US

To spread the word about the sneak previews, the studio has partnered with Twitter to create the hashtag #WarriorMovieSneakPreview.

This will give Twitter users a direct link to buy tickets and continue to spread the word

The film centers on as an ex-marine (Tom Hardy) tormented by his past, who with the guidance of his alcoholic father (Nick Nolte) enters the world of MMA (Mixed Martial Arts) fighting. He signs up for an MMA tournament and ends up on a collision course towards a matchup with his older brother (Joel Edgerton), a former MMA fighter, who can't make ends meet and support his family as a local school teacher, so he too enters the tournament. The last man standing takes home the biggest purse in the sport's history

The 1934 film starring William Powell and Myrna Loy, based on Dashiell Hammett's book, follows an alcoholic former P.I. named Nick Charles and his wealthy heiress wife Nora who investigate a murder that involves an eccentric inventor and his bizarre family.

Koepp is expected to use the novel as his starting point. The story follows an alcoholic former P.I. named Nick Charles and his wealthy heiress wife Nora who investigate a murder that involves an eccentric inventor and his bizarre family.

These polished and sophisticated society types spend as much time engaging in witty banter with each other as they do investigating the crime.

Based on Joshuah Bearman's 2007 Wired magazine article, the wry political thriller would be centered on what happened during the occupation of the American embassy by Iranians in 1979, when a rescue effort was mounted by the CIA and the Canadian government to extract six U.S. diplomats.

The CIA used a disguise expert and concocted a scenario that involved the six being a Hollywood crew scouting a sci-fi movie titled "Argo:. Using those disguises, and with the help of artwork by legendary comics creator Jack Kirby, they were able to flee the country.

Burns says 'Leagues' will shoot later "Because of the amount of pre-vis work that David would have to do we wouldn’t probably start shooting for a little while later and David is so buried in Dragon Tattoo, that’s where his focus is."

The film is big in scale, but apparently only uses "very little" from the original story by Jules Verne.

The film will focus on the relationship between the three main characters - Captain Nemo, French marine biologist Professor Pierre Aronnax, and master harpoonist Ned Land.

Burns hopes production on 'U.N.C.L.E.' will start in the Spring and the script is already finished and is set "more in a real world context" than the series. Fans of the show though will "recognize tiny little things".

Robert Vaughn and David McCallum starred in the original spy drama as two agents of the United Network Command for Law and Enforcement (U.N.C.L.E.), who fought the forces of Technological Hierarchy for the Removal of Undesirables and the Subjugation of Humanity (T.H.R.U.S.H.).

No reason was given for the exit but the studio wants to stick to their schedule which means Soderbergh will begin shooting the movie in February.

Soderbergh has been talking retirement for some time, and it seems he's serious according to The Hollywood Reporter.

He told The New York Times in his Manhattan painting studio, Soderbergh wants to become a full-time painter (!!??) but adds:

"I'm interested in exploring another art form while I have the time and ability to do so. I'll be the first person to say if I can't be any good at it and run out of money I'll be back making another 'Ocean's' movie."

Markus tells The Los Angeles Times that he thinks Dinklage would be great as MODOK. (Mental Organism Designed Only for Killing), a giant headed and hovering mutated scientist

Markus says “I think you could make a terrifying movie with MODOK but nobody seems to be on my side at the momentum. I will win you over to Peter Dinklage as MODOK. If he came around the corner and you saw him floating there you would be terrified. It would be amazing.”

I agree Dinklage would suit the character very well...And I would root for the casting should they decide to move ahead with that notion

The Winter Soldier saga from the comics is the likely story that Markus and Stephen McFeely will use if a sequel is greenlit.

Co-producer Jeremy Latcham said "Cleveland has been amazing. We wanted a real street feeling to the scenes, and we got that".

Scarlett Johansson did some scenes over the weekend at an old warehouse on Ashland Road which doubled as a Russian facility. The Lakeside Courthouse building will be used for a scene to be shot tonight.

Based on a series of LA Times articles, the true story tale follows a secret "off the record" police task force in the 1940 who pursued high-profile gangster Mickey Cohen a member of the so-called Jewish Mob

Shooting is currently taking place in Lawndale in a building opposite the El Camino baseball field. It will then break for a few days and then continue at the same locale on Wednesday and Thursday. The letter says it will involve "explosion, sparks and atmospheric smoke effects".

Three of the Tumblers have been spotted parked outside a Quincy, Illinois shop which has lead to speculation that some filming may take place in Chicago after all, despite the fact that the windy city was not part of mix initially

Rodriguez indicated recently that funding was sucured for the long awaited sequel. At SDCC '11
he also said that that actors playing characters that survived the first film are expected to return, and that because much of it is shot in pieces against green screen that scheduling shouldn’t be too difficult.

According to sources, Monahan's work is supplementing a draft completed in recent weeks by Miller.

This is good news certainly especialy since we had been hearing no news type of news on SC 2 for as long as TLR has been around

The story involves a young love triangle playing out against a dystopian future where North America has been divided into twelve oppressed districts, each of which is forced to send tribute in the form of a boy and a girl to compete in a televised battle to the death once a year.

Hundreds of theater closures from North Carolina to Boston dealt the domestic box office a substantial blow, with lost ticket sales exceeding $25 million.

Overall revenues may not even reach $90 million for the frame, the second worst showing of the year after Super Bowl weekend ($87 million). All told, business was down as much as 25% from the same weekend last year.

Notwithstanding the storm, DreamWorks and Participant Media’s late-summer hit The Help still managed to shine in its third weekend, placing No. 1 and handily beating a trio of new film in grossing $14.3 million for a new domestic total of $96.6 million.

Distributed by Disney, The Help probably wasn’t as hurt as other films because it is drawing most of its strength in the South, as well as Los Angeles, Chicago and New York. Theater closures in New York could explain why The Help was down more than 28% from last weekend, compared to a drop off of only 23% in its second outing.

Distributors cautioned that Sunday estimates could change by Monday morning, since they have little experience dealing with so many theater closures. Rentrak estimates that as many as 1,000 theaters on the East Coast were impacted.

Theater traffic plummeted by 57% from Friday to Saturday in New York, the second busiest movie market next to Los Angeles; in Philadelphia, 45%, and in Washington, D.C., 37%. In York City—the country’s second busiest market next to Los Angeles—theaters remained closed on Sunday.

The Luc Besson-produced action pic Colombiana, starring Zoe Saldana, fared the best among the three new films, grossing an estimated $10.3 million to come in No. 2. Distributed by Sony/TriStar, the movie was fully financed by EuropaCorp and received an A-CinemaScore. Women made up a majority of the audience (57%), while 65% of those going to see thepic were over the age of 25.

"If the numbers stick, it’s certainly in the realm of what we were hoping for,” Sony president of worldwide distribution Rory Bruer said.

Katie Holmes-Guy Pearce horror pic Don’t Be Afraid of the Dark, produced and written by Guillermo del Toro, ended the weekend in a photo finish with 20th Century Fox’s holdover Rise of the Apes ($8.69 million vs. $8.65 million, respectively).

Peter Schlessel and Bob Berney’s FilmDistrict are distributing Don’t Be Afraid of the Dark, which received a glum C- CinemaScore. The pic played best to females under the age of 25, and made a strong showing among Hispanic and African-American audiences.

Berney, who lives just north of New York City in Westchester County, said there was no business Saturday night even in theaters that remained open.

“For example, I went to Ridge Hill in Westchester County for the 7:30 shows on Saturday and though it was open, there were only about 25 brave people in the entire complex,” Berney said. "But all things considered, not a bad Saturday and ultimately the weekend total was good despite the hurricane, and despite the fact that our key large urban East Coast markets were really killed.”

The R-rated ensemble comedy Our Idiot Brother trailed the new the new films in its debut, grossing an estimated $6.6 million. Acquired by the Weinstein Co. at Sundance earlier this year, Idiot Brother grossed $2.4 million, and received an C+ CinemaScore. The comedy headlines Paul Rudd, Elizabeth Banks, Zooey Deschanel and Emily Mortimer.
Weinstein president of distribution Erik Lomis said Idiot Brother may have been hurt more than other new films, because it played to an older, upscale audience.

“Exit polls Friday night showed that our strongest area was New York City, and we basically got shut down,” Lomis said. “Hopefully we will come back next week.”

The Weinstein Co.'s financial exposure is minimized, since it covered the cost of aquiring the film by selling off rights in a handful of key markets.
